Looking for a gay roommate
Why you should inquire me to be your roommate!
Finding an apartment to rent or room to rent in New York City is one of the most time consuming and often aggravating processes in the world. I?ve been going through all the possible websites to find a room to rent or apartment and decided I?d take my search one step farther. I?ve decided to grant the room find me! As one of my favorite women ever, Whitney Houston, said, Step by Step. I am looking for an apartment or room to rent and I specifically want it to be in Astoria.
I?d make a good roommate. Why? Well, let?s see.
I have a steady occupation so you know I?ll make my rent. My credit score is tall (trust me I checked it today). I?m queer , let?s just put that out there! Who doesn?t want a gay roommate? It?s like having a real life floor length mirror that talks support and will never enable you walk out of the apartment in the wrong shoes. I?ll probably spend 3 ? 5 days a week away, so you get a roommate while almost living alone. Talk about a quiet roommate right?
I hold an adorable pug who loves almost everyone she meets (but she does have standards). She is sweet, well-trained and there isn?t a person on earth who doesn?t drop in love with her
Finding Your Perfect Queer Roommate: A Guide to Queer Co-Living
For many people, living in community with other LGBTQ+ folks is crucial. Living in a homosexual home with a meaning of safety, community, and shared culture can really make or break how it feels to reside at home - especially if you just moved somewhere new. But how do you go about finding local queer roommates to live with? We've put together some fool-proof tips on how to safely find queer people to cohabitate with, whether or not you contain an established local gay network.
I've moved to several new cities over the last several years, and whenever I live with queer roommates, even if we aren't close, I always feel safer to be myself at residence. There's just a reciprocal acceptance and understanding that's really important to me.

Gay and nervous about having a roommate. Advice?

HI all,
I’m moving out in the descend and into a dorm. The thing is, I’ve only lived as an only child. Not to say I haven’t had sleepovers or overnight summer camps, but I’ve never lived with someone else like a roommate for an extended period of time. 7 days max, and only when I was younger. The other thing is that I’ve recently come out as Gay. I’m absolutely terrified of having a roommate and/or making them uncomfortable about me being LGBTQ. I really want to do the university life with a dorm and roommate and such… I just hope they’re not homophobic. Has anyone else out there been in a similar situation? I’ve dealt with homophobia in the past on a smaller scale. I’m really looking forward to my college life but I also totally understand that there are people out there that may be uncomfortable with me organism LGBTQ.Do I openly announce that I’m gay from the start? I touch like I should?
Would value advice on this as this is one of the many reasons I didn’t do campus housing as soon as I started college.
Thanks!

How do I tell my other gay roommate I have feelings for him without making things uncomfortable?
Hello!
Thank you for your doubt. What a difficult situation you are in! It sounds like you own been struggling with this for quite a while and I am joyful that you are reaching out for some back. The difficult truth is that sharing your feelings for someone will modify how things are between you, one way or another. We can't direct how others think or feel about us and even the most carefully worded confession may form discomfort. Before you select on what to undertake, there are a several things in your word that stood out to me.
Firstly, it doesn't sound like you think very highly of yourself. Twice here you express hesitation that "someone like him" could be attracted to you. You mention that you have not had many relationships yourself and that most of your friends are straight. You say that your roommate has been out on some dates, but you don't say what you've been up to. I am wondering if the way you feel about yourself has been an obstacle to connecting with other people? Research has demonstrated that no matter the reason for the proximity, we tend to become emotionally closes
